I've asked this before and basically got told to shut up as I remember but it's still bugging me.
Why oh why does Jas do all that silly posing with the guitar in the TBWTXRE video and the "National Lottery" performance for All The Money's Gone? Posing and fret wanking I can understand as it achieves quite a good image, but why the slapping? To me it just makes him look as if he can't play the guitar (which I think we can all safely assume not to be the case). Also, the TBWTXRE video really is quite visually stunning and it mars the whole effect for me which is detrimental to my viewing pleasure.
Anyone got any decent suggestions?

I don't know, maybe he's trying to be funny, or different in a strange way. You never know. You should have asked him that at the Q & A when you had the chance. Now we can just guess.

I can imagine that wouldn't hinder your guitar playing though.
